Oh! Talk of the devil - Mauresmo is in players box. Why did she stop playing? I used to love Seles, also Sabatini and Graf.

Farley- i think Andrew Castle was being paid commission for every time he mentions Tomic's dad. Grin

He must be rich enough to retire by now then! Wouldn't that be a shame?!

Raahh · 02/07/2013 15:05

A terrible loss to the commentating world, that Farley Grin

at Tomic/Castle being able to retire

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 15:09

Gosh, it's so annoying to see people sleeping, what a waste of a seat that could have been mine

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:09

I got made to go out of the house and see the flat. How very dare the dd think such a thought never mind drag me kicking and screaming with her.... Am in a proper sulk now.
Missed Lipsticky.
Huh.

Tomorrow is younger dd prom - I am not amused. I have to do the motherly duty of take her to her friends late afternoon so they can all preen before getting into a limo - what's with this arranging things while Wimbledon is on? Who in their right minds does that Shock

Witt · 02/07/2013 15:16

I've just got home. What have I missed so far?

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 15:17

Lisicki through Witt.

Did they like the flat seize?

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:19

Flat was okay but first floor. They have baby coming and that means pram which I think means ground floor? But its up to them, obviously. I have left them wandering about the shops while they ponder it over - I had to come home, come on, its Wimbledon!

Witt · 02/07/2013 15:20

Oh good, Farley, I like her. I hope Bartoli can beat Sloane.

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 15:20

Of course you had to come home. I think the country should grind to a halt during Wimbledon, would make life a bit easier for us tennis loving types!

Raahh · 02/07/2013 15:23

Bartoli does a lot of running around before points- she must get knackered!

Li Na has drawn level.

I bet Bartoli was one of those little girls who could never sit still.

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 15:28

Tracy Austin's pronounciation is annoying me - she's saying "Bartelli" which, for all I know, could be totally right, but in my head it's pronounced as it's spelt.

Raahh · 02/07/2013 15:28

She is also quite argumentative.

OP posts:
Raahh · 02/07/2013 15:29

Bartoli,I mean, not Austin. She's just irritating.

OP posts:
Witt · 02/07/2013 15:30

I wish they wouldn't boo because of the rain. This is Wimbledon, you are supposed to be civilised.

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:30

Ohhh A rain break...
I am dreading tomorrow. I have never been good with the other mothers. I just can't be doing with the whole clique sort of thing. Which is how it is with this lot of mothers. Groan... They visibly blanch when they catch sight of my tats and God forbid I should crack a rude joke! I stand in a corner and mumble about beautiful peonies as its all I can think of to fit in Grin Have never fitted in!
Younger dd has warned me to not ask for the tennis to be put on while I there Grin

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:31

Where's badkitten? How long is this rain break for do you think?

Witt · 02/07/2013 15:32

Where are you off to toorrow Sieze?

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:32

My God! There is a man wrapping himself up a plastic bag - has he no sense? Somebody stop him Tennis Tennis Tennis

siezethenight · 02/07/2013 15:33

Its younger dd's prom - I have to go to a girl's house with dd and hang out with parents for a while before they all go off - how long do you think is a sensible ''while?''

Witt · 02/07/2013 15:34

5 mins tops. Don't they realise it's Wimbledon??

FarleyD · 02/07/2013 15:35

Why do you have to stay at all sieze? Can't you just drop and go? You could try cracking a rude joke at the same time as asking for the tennis, then they'll never ask you again and problem sorted.

I'm starting to get that "down" feeling I get as Wimbledon draws to a close, I will be really fed up on Sunday. The crowds have changed over the years haven't they, can you imagine them booing in Dan Maskell's day?
